(1/7) Acinic cell carcinoma found by recurrence of a mucous cyst in the sublingual gland.

This case report describes an acinic cell carcinoma found by a recurrence of a ranula in the sublingual gland. A 42-year-old male was admitted to the hospital of the Tokyo Dental College with a swelling in his right oral floor but without pain. The lesion was treated by windowing the same day under the diagnosis of a ranula, but the swelling appeared again at the same area eight months after the first operation. A resection was performed, and the specimen was sent to the clinical laboratory for pathological diagnosis. Proliferating serous cells were seen in part of the wall of an exudative mucous cyst. PAS staining was partially positive, and immunohistochemical staining for S-100 protein, lactoferrin, and amylase were also positive in cytoplasmic granules. This report concludes that the pathological diagnosis is beneficial in clarifying the reasons for the recurrence of a benign lesion. (+info)

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare malignant tumour of the salivary glands. Herewith, the clinical evolution, anatomo-pathological characteristics and treatment adopted are described in a case occurring in the minor salivary glands of the tongue base. To our knowledge, this location has not been previously described in the literature. In fact, due to the rarity of the epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, there is no uniformity of data in the literature and very different therapeutic strategies have been suggested. In this report, the possibility of applying conservative surgery using CO(2) Laser is proposed. Results obtained in the case described confirm that conservative surgery is feasible in this type of neoplastic lesion of the tongue. (+info)

Salivary gland lymphoma is associated with Sjogren's syndrome. A case of bilateral submandibular gland and sublingual gland lymphoma, arising in Sjogren's syndrome, is presented. A lymphoma involving more than one salivary gland may occur in Sjogren's syndrome, and there is an increased risk of developing an extrasalivary lymphoma. (+info)

To elucidate the association of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and salivary gland tumors, 114 cases of tumors of major salivary glands were investigated. EBV DNA was detected in all 6 cases of undifferentiated carcinoma and all 3 cases of T-cell lymphoma, but not in other tumor tissues. In situ hybridization studies for EBV DNA and EBV-encoded small RNA 1 (EBER1) showed specific localization of the EBV sequences to the undifferentiated carcinoma cells and T-lymphoma cells. Moreover, intense DNA signals were detected on nonneoplastic epithelial cells of T-lymphoma tissues. These epithelial cells were negative for EBER1 and expressed BZLF1, BALF2, and gp350/220 proteins associated with virus production. In contrast, nonmalignant epithelial cells surrounded by undifferentiated carcinoma cells showed no evidence of EBV infection or virus replication. These results indicate that there is an unusual association of salivary gland T-cell lymphomas with lytic EBV replication of nonmalignant epithelial cells. (+info)

The presence of a single solitary mass on the ventral aspect of the neck helps to differentiate these neoplasms from polyoma virus-induced pleomorphic tumors that are multicentric in origin and not limited to the salivary glands. (askjpc.org)

Carcinoma is a term for malignant neoplasms derived from cells of epithelial lineage, and/or that exhibit cytological or tissue architectural features characteristically found in epithelial cells. (wikipedia.org)

Neoplasms, such as metastatic squamous cell carcinoma to the submandibular lymph nodes or a salivary gland tumour, could create a similar appearance but rarely have such well defined borders and can usually be palpated in the floor of the mouth or submandibular triangle of the neck as a hard mass. (wikipedia.org)

Incision of the plica itself can result in a ranula, or an incision placed medial to the plica can damage Wharton's duct, the sublingual artery and veins and the lingual nerve. (wikipedia.org)

Salivary calculus can be a serious problem, leading to stasis in the duct of the gland which can cause pain and a serious neck infection. (yourmiamient.com)

Traditionally patients with these problems were offered surgery consisting of either blind removal of stone and dilation of duct or removal of the gland itself. (yourmiamient.com)

Most of these substances enter the salivary gland acinus and duct system from the surrounding capillaries via the intervening tissue fluid, although some substances are produced within the glands themselves. (wikipedia.org)

The parotid gland is located in front of the ear, and it secretes its mostly serous saliva via the parotid duct (Stenson duct) into the mouth, usually opening roughly opposite the maxillary second molar. (wikipedia.org)

The submandibular gland is located medial to the angle of the mandible, and it drains its mixture of serous and mucous saliva via the submandibular duct (Wharton duct) into the mouth, usually opening in a punctum located in the floor of mouth. (wikipedia.org)

Several factors have been postulated: Formation of a hard salivary calculus or sialolith by accumulation of calcium salts in the duct of the salivary gland (a process known as Sialolithiasis). (wikipedia.org)

Sialadenitis is inflammation of a salivary gland, usually caused by infections, although there are other less common causes of inflammation such as irradiation, allergic reactions or trauma. (wikipedia.org)

3,5) Clinically, the neoplasm presents as fluctuant swelling in the ventral aspect of the neck. (askjpc.org)

Additionally, should the submandibular gland need to be resected we also offer a more recently developed technique to allow the gland to be extracted intra-orally without the need for a neck incision. (yourmiamient.com)

Congenital disorders of the salivary glands are rare, but may include: Aplasia Atresia Ectopic salivary gland tissue Stafne defect - an uncommon condition which some consider to be an anatomic variant rather than a true disease. (wikipedia.org)

Tissue biopsy is not usually indicated, but if carried out, the histopathologic appearance is usually normal salivary gland tissue. (wikipedia.org)

Sometimes attempted biopsy of Stafne defects reveals an empty cavity (possibly because the gland was displaced at the time of biopsy), or other contents such as blood vessels, fat, lymphoid or connective tissues. (wikipedia.org)

Immune, especially autoimmune, cause - which has gained steam, given the observation that the tissue of the glands is overrun with lymphoid immune cells and fibrous connective tissue, as well as corroboration from markedly similar lesions (with histologic and immunohistochemical findings) seen elsewhere in the body. (wikipedia.org)

Radio-active iodine administration can also lead to dysfunction of the excretory ducts of the saliva glands. (yourmiamient.com)

New methods for managing salivary calculus, post-radiation salivary stasis and stenosis of salivary ducts have emerged using semi-rigid endoscopes which can be used to diagnose as well as to remove stones and dilate ducts to restore that gland back to its healthy state. (yourmiamient.com)

Abnormalities of the salivary gland ducts leading to excessive accumulation or retention of ductal secretions, which can excite chronic inflammations. (wikipedia.org)

The Stafne defect is thought to be a normal anatomical variant, as the depression is created by ectopic salivary gland tissue associated with the submandibular gland and does not represent a pathologic lesion as such. (wikipedia.org)

Rarely, the defect can be completely surrounded by bone, and this has been theorized to be the result of entrapment of embyonic salivary gland tissue within the bone. (wikipedia.org)

Computed tomography (CT) will show a shallow defect through the medial cortex of the mandible with a corticated rim and no soft tissue abnormalities, with the exception of a portion of the submandibular gland. (wikipedia.org)

It is thought to be created by an ectopic portion of salivary gland tissue which causes the bone of the mandible to remodel around the tissue, creating an apparent cyst like radiolucent area on radiographs. (wikipedia.org)
